Graphics card size in the Studio XPS 8000
I am looking at graphics cards to swap out for in my XPS 8000 and found out that the GTX 750Ti would work with the stock 350W power supply (it only requires 300W minimum). However, the specific models I am looking at are dual slot cards and I am not sure if the card's size is enough to fit in the case. Here is a photo of the inside with the current card (Radeon HD 7750):
Basically, what I'm worried about is if a 750Ti from, say, EVGA would be able to fit in there because of the way the fans are. Can anyone help on this?

You can use a more expensive card that has UEFI bios and it will work fine. Stock power supply is fine with these cards.
The catch is that it needs to be UEFI compatible or you need to turn off Secure boot and Turn On CSM Legacy option roms.
The card must be a short card aka mini ITX version.

My preference is still EVGA however.

The card in the video below is Gigabyte GV RX460WF2OC

Will it fit in the case though? My big concern is that fan sticking out, since it mounts with the fan pointing downward.

The cards linked in my post fit into the 3650 case just fine. The Gigabyte card with 2 fans is a tight fit but it does fit. The XPS 8000 actually has MORE ROOM than a 3650.
